The Mets scored a little lower, which is partially b/c a few of my rankings didn’t do them any favors (not intentional…I’m a ‘stros fan and we scored lower than the Mets). They definitely have a new group coming in who I think will do an awesome job. This year, it will be interesting to see how the new management’s philosophy mixes w/ players signed by the previous group. I think several of your young prospects have the potential to take off if the management convinces them to make some adjustments.

One issue that does pop out of any grouping of the young players is the miserable to mediocre showing of the Mets, despite their big market resources. I’m hopeful that our new front office team brings more competence to the talent selection process.

We created the list and really appreciate the link. You are right the Mets have some talented young players who graduated from the rankings.

Also, a few of our Mets’ rankings are questionably low. For example, I think Wilmer Flores will fair much better in the publication lists that get published in a few weeks. Excluding Cesar Puello is also a questionable decision. I didn’t list Darren Cecilliani, Juan Urbina and Corey Vaughn. They are all decent prospects but I ran out of spots. Tried to ranking them objectively as possible but it’s possible I missed something.

Once again, I appreciate the link. The Mets’ farm system will be fun to watch, and over the next few years, I think they’ll do a good job adding new talent and developing the players already in your system.

Bradley

Also, a sleeper worth watching out for is Brad Emaus (your Rule 5 pick). It’s hard to predict which Rule 5 guys will succeed, but based on his numbers (K/BB, major league equivalency, etc), Emaus might surprise people.

Of course it has nothing to do with guys that have been in the majors since 2003.

I am not sure what the criteria is for being on this list. I assume still having rookie eligibility? Because there are a bunch of guys on it that played in the majors last year (brown, chapman, drabek). And some where up for a while.

just MHO of course, but to me, there is not much difference between a guy that is ready to graduate from the minors and one that did it last year, in terms of evaluating a teams MiL system/young talent/prospect pool. Other than, of course, a guy like Ike proved that he could actually play in the majors, while a guy like Brown hasn’t.

If Ike had not had to be called up earlier than expected, he would probably be high on this list. Same with Neise. Not sure about thole.

also, there is a typo. Teheran is on the braves (list is correct, but the note about the NL east guys in the top 10 gave him to the phils)

LETS GO METS!!!
